p100sch14464y@Root A nice wine is always useful in this situation.
Calms you down, cheers you up, reminds you that there is still a reason to live on even if the peace of shit your working on tries tries to drive you to kill $$. -
Oooh boy I got wine drunk once and that shit ain't it.
I'd genuinely rather shotgun a four loko than experience that shit again lol -
@M1sf3t true.
Even tho it was a cheap asf bottle, wine isn't my cup of vodka lol. I'll drink a glass with a nice dinner every once in a while.
but considering I cook for one every night, I don't cook nice meals ofte -
Root797794yI don’t even consider wine when I go to a liquor store. I just buy liquor. π€·π»βοΈ

@M1sf3t The headaches aren't just from the alcohol, but even more so from the added sulfur.

@OmerFlame Actually only for Thumb-1, and that's because it's a 16 bit instruction set anyway. Otherwise, it's 4 bytes:

Though pipe tobacco is a serious alternative. Just dug up a nice navy flake, alon with black coffee.

@F1973 Just finished that one with a nice Virginia flake - lasted for a whole movie! Delicious, and without artificial flavouring - I hate that shit, that's like cherry coke for Scotch.
When not using active charcoal filters, which common in Europe, and instead a feazed 8mm cigarette filter, you get the full taste while still not running the risk of drawing ash near the end.
Though flake tobacco can be a bit of a bitch and probably not that good for beginners. -
@F1973 Note that the 8mm cig filter trick works only in pipes that have a bore for 9mm pipe filters, not in completely filterless ones.
Yeah, that is pipe tobacco. Virginia is a sort of tobacco plant, and flake is the manufacturing with stripes of pressed tobacco. That came from sailors who had little storage room for personal belongings. Pressed tobacco was a solution, plus that it stays good for longer. That's why flake tobaccos often have "navy" in their name.
What's more common is ready rubbed tobacco, known as loose cut. In both cases, not stuffing too much baccy into the pipe and smoking slowly is key. Slow smoking means cooler burning and better taste.
Afterwards, letting the pipe cool down and then cleaning is important because oily residuals can turn rancid, which makes a very nasty taste. It's quite a bit of fumbling around, but that's part of the deal. Also, a wooden pipe should rest for a day between two smokes. -
@F1973 It's like Scotch - if you take a whole mouth full, it's just crap. But if you sip a little bit, then the taste unfolds.
Yeah, fast and therefore hot smoking makes pipe tobacco stingy and acrid, and it burns your tongue. Especially if the tobacco is too moist, doesn't stay lit, and one tries to compensate by drawing faster. That will damp cook the tongue reliably.
Btw., I wouldn't advise combining pipe or cigar and liquor at the same time. The combination is a lot more unhealthy than the sum of individual risks. -
@F1973 Hot smoke is a big reason for awful taste. Even for weed, there are electrical vaporisers that heat the stuff, but don't burn it. Tastes a lot better than a chillum, but is more expensive and less mobile. It's just that I don't like the effects of weed, except as pain killer for heavy migraine.
Yeah, I think anything in the bitter range is acquired, also coffee and beer. Though many pipe tobaccos have some natural sweetness of their own even without saucing them in sugary molasses. It's just that the natural sweetness isn't the "in your face" style of artificial flavouring.
With coffee, many people never acquire the taste and keep ruining their coffee with sugar.
Root? Drinking wine!?
It’s less likely than you think.
But apparently still happens π₯
